"This summer we welcomed our sweet baby girl through adoption. We are beyond excited to embark on this beautiful next chapter of parenthood in both peace and privacy," the couple wrote in a joint statement on Instagram. "And then there were 3."

Not long after the announcement, a source told People that becoming a mom young was always part of Brown's plan. "She's so young, but so focused. And she has the biggest heart. There's no doubt that she's a great mom," the source said.

"Pretty much everything she sets her mind to, she crushes. And they have really worked on creating this special family life in Georgia. She loves her farm — it's going to be such a special place for the baby to grow up," the insider continued.

Brown has often shared glimpses of her peaceful life on the farm through Instagram carousels. The insider added, "Even before they were married, she often spoke about her wish to be a young mom. And Jake was always on the same page. They're in it together."

"So that was his thing, and my thing was, I really want a family. I really want a big family," she said. Brown, who married Bongiovi in May 2024, also shared she saw no difference between having a biological child and adopting.

"My home is full of love for anyone and anything, and so that is what we kind of stand by — Jake and I — our energy in the house is 'the door is always open,' and we want everyone to feel really comfortable," she said.
